Design Day- Making A Water Filter
Today, the whole second grade worked in groups of 2 or 3 to create a water filter. Over the past few days, we read about a young girl named Selila, who lives in India along the Ganges River. She told a story of how the water there is polluted and asked for our help. Each group worked carefully as engineers through the design process. They asked questions, imagined ideas, planned, created, improved and repeated the process 4 times.


Ask your child:
Which materials worked best to create clean water?
How did they work together to create the water filters?
Did their water clarity improve as they continued to create filters?
